That section that broke (on your tie-rod) is just over 1/2"
Don't let the pic fool ya....that center section is thick-walled chromemoly hardened alloy and is 1 1/4" thick
It weighs about the same but is about 10x stronger. If you put the stock part next to this part....it would blow you away....it's just the pic playin' games...no reference, but it's the only pic I have
